BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Infamous Rough Riders’ playboy Grant Saber has been sidelined for a bum shoulder. If he has to be off the ice for three weeks of recovery, he‘ll do it on his back—breaking in a new wanna-be cowgirl every night. But pressure from the team’s owner and Grant’s parents land him in his hometown of Holly, North Carolina instead. Things look up when he learns the hometown beauty who was once so out of his league is now single, and sexier than ever. Determined to slip in a night with her while he’s in town, Grant is shocked to discover one will never be enough.

Faith Nicholas has no interest in the newest Saber-son gossip. After losing her father just months before, she is now on the verge of losing their family hardware store—which is also her home. She couldn’t care less about the Saber’s big money or flashy toys. But she can’t seem to keep Grant out of her store–or her dreams. His magnetic charisma is impossible to ignore, and the longer he stays in town, the more she finds to love about a man who isn’t as superficial as he’d like others to believe.

With a struggling store, four-hundred miles and a rigorous hockey season looming between them, Grant will have to pull out his very best moves if he’s going to make this quick trick last forever.

REVIEW:
3.75 Heart This is a new series by Skye Jordan and this is set around hockey. I am a fan of ice hockey so I was really excited to read this new series.

We meet the Rough Riders in this series and begin with Grant. Grant is a hockey star so when he meets Faith who has no clue who he is Grant wants to get to know her. I really enjoyed Grant. In the beginning he seemed stereotypical of star athletes. Exactly what we think they all are. Egotistical, hot headed and entitled but when we get to know Grant we find he is just a good old fashioned kind of guy. Faith is a sweet hometown girl. She has run her dad’s business since he passed away. The town knows her and she has been hurt enough to not be sure she wants to be involved with Grant but the heart knows what the heart wants.

Another great book by Jordan and I can’t wait to read the rest in the series.

Kelly reviews Rules Of Contact by Jaci Burton

rules-of-contactTITLE: Rules of Conduct
SERIES #: Play by Play #12
CHARACTERS: Flynn Cassidy & Amelia Lawrence
AUTHOR: Jaci Burton
PUBLICATION DATE: December , 2017
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In the new Play-By-Play novel by the New York Times bestselling author of Unexpected Rush, a football player with all the right moves on the field needs a better game plan for his love life.

A defensive end for the San Francisco Sabers, Flynn Cassidy is used to being in the spotlight—he just doesn’t enjoy it. But if getting in front of the cameras will help his new restaurant succeed, he’s willing. Now if he could just meet a woman who loved him and not his fame…

After her divorce, Amelia Lawrence is thrilled to start over as head chef at Ninety-Two. It’s just the opportunity she needs to heat up her career—if only she wasn’t wildly attracted to her sexy new boss. Their chemistry might be sizzling hot, but Amelia has no intention of being burned again.

Amelia is genuine and fun and Flynn can’t get enough of her—and Amelia loves every second she spends with the tough but tender Flynn. But trust is a hard fought battle for both of them. Breaking the rules of contact and surrendering to their passion was easy, but are they willing to risk their hearts to win at the game of love?

REVIEW:
Another great Play by Play story from Ms. Burton. I really enjoyed reading Flynn’s story.
Being the oldest of the Cassidy kids he has got to witness both of his younger brothers find love and his little sister Mia, well she never gets to have a boyfriend so that is okay. Flynn wants to find the type of love that his brothers have found. He wants a relationship that mirrors the happiness that his parents have. But Flynn finds himself dating the same type of woman. The type that only cares about his fame and glory. Not Flynn the person, just Flynn the superstar football player. Enter a relationship shy head chef that doesn’t take crap from anyone.
Amelia is great. She is a whiz in the kitchen and loves her new job. She really likes her new boss too. But while she likes Flynn she is not willing to cross any lines no matter how attracted she is to him.
I liked these two a lot. They got along so well and both had to learn to trust each other on a level that they were both not use too. Just like any relationship they both have to learn the hard way that trust and communication are not easy. But that love is willing to fight for.
I can’t wait to see what is next in this series!
